With a focus on human factors, psychological safety, and structured communication, we will examine common but challenging scenarios in ECC. Participants will learn how to apply evidence-based debriefing frameworks , gaining practical tools to facilitate meaningful reflection, learning, and improvement.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define the purpose and benefits of clinical debriefing in emergency and critical care settings, with a focus on human factors and team performance.
- Identify key elements of effective communication required to initiate and lead a psychologically safe debriefing session.
- Apply recognised debriefing frameworks to clinical scenarios in ECC.
